The competition, sponsored by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, is one of the most prestigious, with law schools participating by invitation only.

Additionally, the judges specifically commended them for their excellent work throughout the competition and for placing second overall. She is a graduate of Wesleyan’s College of Social Studies.
